Thanks for sharing. I'd love to try these fruits you're mentioning. What type of market would I find them in?

I was searching the web trying to figure out what kind of fruit my favorite fruit vendor so generously gave me at the farmers market the other day and found a couple of interesting sites about exotic...

I'm like you, I like a yellow banana before they start spotting. I agree the spotted ones are very bitter.

The exception would be the little yellow baby bananas, from Ecuador. Those can be nearly...

This looks DIVINE, Renee! I'm definitely gonna make this, this weekend.

I love your idea of adding bean sprouts and "Lo-Mein." The picture looks so good, I want to reach in and take a bite, or 10,...

I've been affected by this for a while now and after much research I've found that it's the fats that are the major problem. If you cut out the fat from your diet and just do fruits and veggies only,...

I always feel headachy and sick after I eat a bunch of brazil nuts. I thought it was just me. It's too bad cause I really like the flavor and texture of them.

To eat, eat, eat! a big variety of foods and consume plenty of calories.

Plus, adding a green smoothie to the mix made a big difference.

Thank you for this info. It's very helpful. I just bought a bag of chia tonight but now you have me concerned because I don't digest a lot of things well. I guess I'll still try the chia seeds and...

I notice almost all of the recipes for crackers, bread, pizza crust and wraps, call for flax seeds, but flax really affects my hormones in a negative way.

Yes, I'm loving her thread. So inspirational.



Thank you. This is so helpful.

If you do end up juicing, will you post back with the results? I'm curious about this. I miss eating artichokes and haven't dared to try them raw yet.

I've been raw for 5 months and my hair has grown like crazy. I've also noticed my eyelashes have filled in more. They used to be really sparse but now they're longer and thicker. I definitely...

Wow, I'm gonna have to get The Perfect Pickler. That's so cool. Thanks for sharing this, Coco and DebB.

EmmaT - Thank you for sharing your information. I feel much better about my kraut batch now.

Checking it again and there are definitely some fizzy bubbles at the top. Is that normal or should I just throw it out?
